Nick, his wife Amy, and sons Hudson and Owen, live in the Dallas area. You'll often find Nick and Amy in the stands cheering the boys on in soccer, basketball and football or on the field coaching baseball. They are active in their local church, neighborhood HOA, and the Allen Indian Guides. They also enjoy volunteering in their local community.
My background in risk management brings a unique perspective to my clients and our accounts.
